Pop beauty Ashlee Simpson's manager and father Joe has changed the gay plot
in her movie debut WANNABE, because he's uncomfortable with his daughter
playing a lesbian.

The former Baptist minister fears the PIECES OF ME star's chances of
breaking into Hollywood would be hampered if she played a homosexual, so he
ordered movie producers to alter the romantic comedy's script, reports American
gossip site
PAGESIX.COM.

He explains, "I changed it. It doesn't work for her to be gay the first
thing out. She said, 'But it's cool, it's edgy, it's different,' and of course
the filmmakers were like, 'It's cool for a woman to be a lesbian.'

"She's going to be a huge movie star. She's like Meg Ryan or Cameron Diaz,
with probably more depth. When we're done, she'll play it all."
